Why migrate legacy systems?
For companies to remain competitive it is vital that their business at any time is optimally supported by flexible IT solutions and therefore they cannot afford to remain on out-dated and expensive technologies. It is one of the reasons why many companies are looking for solutions to modernize their IT solutions in order to reduce costs while momentum is maintained.
